maybe this one lack of emotional part but it have a nice plot even though predictable. i think the author has potential to be a good writer. i will read if there is new project from her.

⚠️ Buku saving Noah ini BUKAN jenis buku Popcorn thriller yah ⚠️
Apa sih popcorn thriller itu? Yaitu thriller yg quick, easy, entertaining &sdikit unrealistic.
Buku saving Noah ini jenis thriller yg lebih dark, emotional, VERY REALISTIC, tearjerker type of disturbing book gitu.

Jd mohon kebijaksanaanya buat baca tw & cw nya dulu. Ini aku sertakan beberapa. Ini belum lengkap yah. silahkan cek sndiri.

Aku sndiri lompat aja ke buku ini dan kena damage 🥲👍 ya krn kukira ini🍿thriller 🥲

Cw // & Tw // : suicide, suicide attempt, rape, self harm, bullying

⭐ LUCINDA BERRY SUKSES BIKIN AKU NANGIS GA BERHENTI BACA INIH 😭
Pas kubilang di cerita ini keadaan Noah alamin bakalan memburuk, ITU BENERAN SEBURUK ITU. Se-Tearjerker dan VERY REALISTIC + DARK sekali pokoknya💔

⭐Pov di buku ini ada 3. Pov dr ibunya Noah yg setia terus dampingin anaknya🥲, pov noah dulu, sama pov sekarang dari satu tokoh( I won't spoil it)

⭐dan YES. ADA TWIST DI AKHIR 🥲🥲kebiasaan buku thriller nih
⭐siap siap kamu akan dihadapi pergolakan batin yg luar biasa🫵😞

⭐ minusnya buku ini, krn aku kurang paham tntang psikologi aplagi kasusnya Noah, aku stiap baca jd "hah? Emang iyah begitu? Emang bener faktor turunan? Ga ada faktor2 lain? Bneran ga bisa sembuh?"

Jd meragukan bnyk hal sih. Mknya yg jurusan psikologi baca dong trus kasih tau 🫵

ASELI GARANG BETS COVERNYA 😶😶

KARAKTER SI MAKRAM? ASTAGAA.

Ini si Makram analisisnya tajem juga. Gile cuma dikasih beberapa hint dia langsung bisa deskripsiin smua yg terjadi. Gue kira dia bakal cuma pecicilan, khas prince no.2 gitu. Busyettt tajem bener deduksi ni orang. ANJIR YA NI ORANG. TAJEM PARAH INTUISI NYA 😳😳 
Enggak..kyknya emang jenius deh. Wah parah parah. Suka nih gue tipe begini. Pangeran yg kita kira manusia paling bodoh malahan mau pura2 jadi pelayan yg disuruh suruh cuma biar dia dapet INFORMASI. Dia ngerti informasi tuh penting.

the banter?? W.O.W
Kata gua mah lu berdua kagak usah dah ngomong pake mulut. Pake mata aja, gue rasa udah pada paham satu sama lain. Gue yg baca aja panas inih panassss.
Dan sekali lagi terbukti, penulisan buku ini tuh bagus banget. Gue ga bercanda ketika gue ngomong, gue beneran ngerasa panas 🫠

Ohh ini standalone ternyata tapi interconnecting series gitu. 🤔 Hmm Menarikkk jadi pingin baca buku lainnya tapi yg character paling membuatku tertarik aja.
Tapi liat sikon deh wkwk 😂 trlau banyak tbr menumpuk

Jujur demi apapun aku bisa ngabisin ini sekali duduk!! Seru dan lucu banget bukunyaa. Ga bisa berhenti🤤🤤🤤

Aku suka si Brooke bneran se-sunshine ituh. Kayak smua orang di rumah Rey tuh ga ada yg ramah trus hidupnya juga ga baik baik aja, TAPI DIA BISA LOH MASIH SENYUM DAN BUAT ORANG KETAWA. Oh girl 😍

Yah walau ada banyak hal yang gue pas baca bikin ilfill dikit krna ada bagian yg errrr 🫠, tapi okelah 🤸✨

As i thought, it's like CC😮‍💨 Even though Bryce is more acceptable to me.
Kenapa sih author jaman sekarang harus bnget heavy inspired sama buku buku bestseller?

Padhaal kalian punya bakat loh tp jd malah kyk kurang orisinalitas klo kyk gini. Hufth..

Hahaha dr awal- akhir elemen elemen yg dimasukin ga jauh beda sama CC
Bingung mau sambat apalagi huffthh. Berasa re-read CC

Btw, aku ga lanjut buku kedua 🙂
